Welcome to Coach Danny Haralson’s RunUniversity.com; the Beginners guide and resource to running and training for their first (or first in a while 5K/10K). RunU is designed for the new to running or the ‘return to running’ person who’s interested in covering the distance. Danny and RunU will also help the intermediate runner get stronger and faster in pursuit of better and faster times in races from 5K to the marathon. There’s more information about individual coaching for individual goals under the banner ‘Meet Danny’.
Danny Haralson is an RRCA (Road Runner’s Clubs of America) Certified Coach and his Running 101 program is designed to cover the distance, speed can come later however the initial goal is to cover the distance while having fun. The great thing is that as you progress in your running; you will become stronger therefore running faster.
In Danny’s Running 101 programs an important by-product of the running is in understanding the importance of short and long term goals and how they can increase the gain in self confidence, self esteem as well as self empowerment. As you progress you will discover within yourself the ability to persevere, your own determination and the self satisfaction that comes from a job well done.
Many people decide to start running and they (for whatever reason) select a 3 or 4 mile run to start with! They lace up some old tennis shoes they’ve used for cutting the grass, Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars, or (ladies) their old Reebok aerobic shoes and off they go!
That first mile is exhilarating, but that last mile is excruciating!
They get back and they have a ‘side stitch’, their knees ache and they are gasping for air. They take a hot bath and fall into bed. The next morning they get up and as their feet hit the floor they sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies (snap, crackle, pop), their legs and joints ache and they declare, “Running is not for me, it’s too painful!”
Well, no wonder! Danny’s Running 101 program is built upon ‘adaptation’. Each new runner begins with walking and running, okay, ‘slogging’ (slow jogging) and as each week passes they walk a little further and run a little further, then they run a little more and walk a little less until it’s all running all the time! The confidence grows each day, each week as you slowly, but consistently conquer new territory by going further and getting stronger until instead of why not me; you declare proudly – Yes, ME!
Each day, each run is another opportunity to conquer your own doubts. It’s not a big thing much like a brick is not a big thing; but a lot of bricks put together will become a wall and a lot of runs put together will become a 5K or 10K and a new, improved you.
The Running 101 program is available to organized groups, churches and corporations through RunUniversity only. If you or your organization has an interest please feel free to contact Danny by clicking on the above ‘contact’ button. We will be glad to work with your organization to create and design a fun 7 to 10 week program focusing on increased fitness, accomplishment, goal setting, self confidence and motivation that will encourage and instruct participants how to successfully complete a 5K or 10K running all the way! This program is not only fun but highly successful for all.
